    So why would my party explode a few steps in side the fancy house. Did someone put land mines under the floor of their house? What am I missing. The game is hard enough without extraneous hidden explosions.

    I discovered and recruited Lank. He single handedly carried my party for like 5 days. And just like A Lank to the Past, his weapon reacts to his health. He's got all kinds of surprises and I was so excited to recruit him.

    These cameos are one of my favorite parts and I wish there were an endless supply of them. I like how the game reacts uniquely for them. Running into one is a real joy

    I read this earlier and was going to mention that there are Propane gas tanks.
    Then...My incredible party of four, including Lunk/ Link, walked into a gas station rescue, and exploded while in the first room. All dead. i was swearing until I realised it's probably not a smart move to go into a gas station and blaze away with a shotgun and a rifle.
    Rofl
    I didnt see what exploded. Live and learn. I like that this game sticks to a moderately logical path with scenarios like this. :D

    I guess it's random but I've had Link turn up in my last four games. He seems to go by at least three names.
    Never did see what a witch's black cat can do as a guy with a very pink face, like a mask, was recruited and he either ate the cat or displaced it in the car. Another cameo from a horror story?

    Okay. I started a new game and have Lank/Lunk/Lonk again. That's maybe five games in a row!!

    HAS to be a glitch though I'm happy to have him. Last three times he turned up real early. This time it was before the first supply place, by the side of the road, which is where I picked him up at least twice before. The guy sure likes hitchhiking.

    And this game is rare characters mode but the one before was the normal mode.

    L*nk Is the only one to carry my team to canada successfully. Twice now with him. Be patient until you get the "Sword" and you are unstoppable

    It's weird that it's happening to me today as well (on PC). L*nk was showing up at the start of every new game.

    Will a mini map be included in a future update?

    And it just happened again, before the supply raid at the start. I picked up Link.
    He does often get his white sword but Im pretty hopeless at this game.

    Bear in mind, haha, second last time everyone died from an explosion, and the time before this one above, I had them fight a bear. The bear won.

    That's my only annoyance so far. Autoresolving combat without regard for the team members. I had Link, a magical gnome riding a rodent, and two superfit ladies with heaps of weapons. And yet Link and Gnomey died.

    It could be that L*nk didn't have enough health to withstand the bear's attack. Gnomey's definitely killed with his one-shot health.

    Somebody just made a post on the Steam discussion page that he's been getting L*nk as well. So... I'm guessing he's unlocked in every run for only today?

    Not very interesting. The aim goal is to survive and discover those lands by yourself

    I have an idea for an unlockable. If you manage to make it to Canada with a rare character/s, you get their face/hat clothes etc for customization.

    I just managed my closest run yet with 6 days missing. Sure it was rare characters mode. Sure, I found Mop-girl (dunno why but she is carrying an Ultramop and cleaning lady's clothes lol, she managed to diss off every trader she said to cool it, but she won the bandits hers' over to whom she said to COOL IT!), El Satan the wrestler, a dog, a ninja girl (who simply smoke-vanished) an alien (awesome gun) and a MIB (they both had an amazing car-UFO that does not spend any gas, but they did not join me. So I alays stand up to bandits. Turns out I was killed by them (accumulated wounds), when I was less than halfway over there :( I found a chainsaw, but I don't know how to turn it on. Didn't feel like it was such a big deal. The sewer runs for me are aweful, always lose so many people (I always run and close doors, but sometimes I get lost and get run over). The UFO siege was fun.

    I think he means for inside buildings. I would also like a mini map for buildings.

    Yes it did. Does that explode for some reason?

    This has been happening to me too, and I thought I was really lucky. Guess it's just a feature. Not complaining, he carried my team to Canada. Someone on Steam said it might be to celebrate Breath of The Wild, which is what I'm thinking too.

    Also, to Kepa: have you thought about maybe having a honorary Canadians list or something to commemorate successful runs? Right now they just kind of...end. It would be nice to go back and be able to see your run with the most zombies killed, or best characters, or something, on a billboard or office by Canada or in the home screen. I'm not a dev, so I don't know how hard that is to make, but it would be a nice feature. Something to think about? Pretty please? Thanks :)

    Why would the character have a map for buildings when they are unfamiliar with the building? It wouldn't make any sense.
